This should have been done long long ago, around October last year. I picked it up recently again, just to finish it off so I could move on to new paintings. It was really difficult because I normally start hating a painting about a month after it is done, so to work on it when I had already started wishing I had never started it was...difficult.
Anyway, this image was inspired by the Daily Sketch topic "Self portrait as a Vampire" I drew about two of those and I just needed to do one finished vampire painting. Hehehe.

She had a lot more on her- jewelry, clothes etc, but I took it off because the more I thought about the story, the more unnecessary it seemed

And a clothed version, heheh.



Many, many thanks to all the wonderful people who took the time to comment, critique, kept me inspired and generally helped me to finish this image!
